Getting to know Natalia Cruz Navarro

With over a decade of experience in perinatal mental health, Natalia Cruz Navarro is a warm, steady, and affirming therapist who has walked alongside families through high-risk pregnancies, fetal diagnoses, NICU stays, and devastating losses. Her approach to care is client-centered, inclusive, trauma-focused, and culturally sensitive. She utilizes an "integrative" method, drawing from various theories and is trained in EMDR, DBT, CBT, and Brainspotting to provide symptom relief in a non-judgmental space. Natalia believes that healing starts with being deeply heard and is honored to help clients move toward peace, resilience, and self-trust. Born in Mexico and raised in the U.S., she brings a bicultural lens to her work and offers care in both Spanish and English.

What should a new client know about working with you?

New clients should know that my priority is to create a warm, steady, and affirming space where you feel seen, safe, and supported. I believe that healing starts with being deeply heard, and in our first session, my main goal is to listen, understand what brought you to therapy, and ensure you feel respected. We will work together to identify your needs and goals in a way that feels right for you. My approach to care is client-centered, inclusive, trauma-focused, and culturally sensitive. Ultimately, my hope is that you leave our time together feeling validated, empowered, and equipped with the practical skills to cope and heal, allowing you to move forward with a sense of peace and resilience. I am also happy to offer care in both Spanish and English.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

Our process begins by creating a safe and welcoming space where, in our first session, my priority is to listen, understand what brought you to therapy, and ensure you feel heard and respected. Together, we will work to identify your needs and goals. From there, my approach is client-centered and "integrative," meaning I draw from different evidence-based methods—including EMDR, CBT, and DBT—to best fit your unique needs and provide practical skills for coping and healing in a non-judgmental space. Throughout our work, the ultimate goal is for you to feel validated, affirmed, and empowered, moving forward with a deeper sense of peace, resilience, and self-trust.
